Standalone Workers Compensation for Staffing Companies from Novatae Risk Group Novatae Risk Group offers a focused Workers Compensation program built for staffing agencies. Whether your clients place clerical staff, light industrial labor, healthcare support, or skilled trades, Novatae provides flexible underwriting, competitive terms, and capacity for accounts that are difficult to place — including those with elevated experience modifications (X-Mods) or recent lapses in coverage. Program Highlights: Aggressive pricing and competitive placement options Guaranteed-cost program structure Broad class-code acceptance for staffing placements High X-Mods accepted Lapse in coverage — acceptable with proper underwriting Ideal Accounts and Appetite This program is designed specifically for staffing companies with at least $1,000,000 in payroll and is a strong fit when your client places employees across multiple exposure types. Common placements include: Light industrial and warehouse workers Healthcare staffing (non-hospital settings) Clerical and administrative personnel Skilled trades and construction support Example scenarios where Novatae often provides value: you have a staffing client who recently expanded into warehouse labor and now exceeds $1M payroll with a spotty loss history, or a long-standing agency that experienced a short lapse in coverage during a corporate transition. Both are typical submissions for this program.
